every member of the LDS church who has kids will understand the excitement i was feeling this past sunday. from birth until 18 months, you are in charge of your child during all three hours of church. that meant that for the past 6 months, kirk and i took turns roaming the halls or running home to put her down for a nap while the other one attended class. but sydney turned 18 months on december 3rd, which meant...she is in a primary class for two whole hours!
we tried to talk about nursery a few days before like it was the best thing ever. not sure how much got through to her, but she knew there was something exciting happening.
kirk dropped her off, because sydney has had some attachment issues with me (so sweet, but a little hard to drop her off places right now). to be honest i kind of wanted them to come get me and say "she kept saying mama!" but i was also relieved that they didn't do that. it really helped that her best friend Addie is in the same class. i told Laura (Addie's mom and my good friend too) that Addie wasn't allowed to get sick. ever. because then sydney would probably flip out.
so needless to say, sunday was a big milestone for the hill family.
here's to six more months of going to class without a child. then baby #2 is going to be roaming the halls before we know it. :)

She is so adorable in the second picture. Well, she's adorable in all of them, but in the one on the right she has the most determined little look on her face.
Sometimes it's weird to think of you as a mom. Like when I read this it just hits me
